We encourage you to scrap about yourself - to record your own story. We aren't very rule-oriented here - just keep in the spirit of the scrapbooking challenge!! Play for inspiration, you'll be amazed what you will learn about yourself ...

Hi, I am Alicia O'Bryant, a mother and wife who also works full time as an
office manager. I have been crafty since childhood. I owned a jewelry
crafting business for over 20 years and have been paper crafting for almost as
long. I enjoy the city of life of Cincinnati, Ohio where I have lived for 18
years. I love to scrapbook as well as create cards and mixed media projects. Here is Alicia's take on our challenge ...

So honoured to have Tone Jensen as one of our guest designers this month :) - Tone's work always catches my eye, and completely captures my interest when I start to unravel all the layers and techniques she uses in her work.

My name is Tone
K. Jensen and I live in Norway under 20 minutes drive north of the capital Oslo.
I am 47 years old live with my husband and son (15 years old). I also have a
stepdaughter (30 years old).

I've always
taken pictures and put them in albums, but I have been scrapping since 2004.
The last two or three years I have also started making cards and I have
relatively recently start with PL pages. I guess I am one of few that scrap
everything and chronologically. But I love it, although I have only come to 2007
J (With PL everything goes much faster though).

Scrapping is my
way to retrieve energy and relax.

I do not know if
I have any special style and if I have I do not quite know what category it
falls under. I'm very fond of using stencil and mist and make LO with
layers.

Otherwise I use
far too much time surfing around in the blogworld, but that's where I get
inspiration.

Here is Tone's interpretation of our challenge:

Thank you so much Tone for joining us this month. It has been wonderful working with you!!

Stay tuned to see winners of our challenges for September and October posted soon!!!

Close your eyes and blindly grab 3 items from your stash and incorporate it into a layout. You may use other items, and you may re-colour your items, but incorporate all 3 items into the layout. I really liked this challenge - and I will do it again :).

We welcome you to incorporate our challenges with any otherchallenge. So play anywhere you want with the same layout :).You are welcome to scrapbook
pages of any size, or to art journal,
paint, create cards, mixed media, or off-the-page work.

This month's winner will be receiving some lovely embellishments in the mail!!Here's what the design team came up with :)

Welcome!!!

We welcome entries that are not traditional scrapbooking - such as art journalling, painting, cards, mixed media, off-the-page work. However you like to create - we welcome your work!
